As the comrades in the cooking class got closer and closer, many soldiers noticed the abnormality, and many soldiers already smelled the smell of meat wafting in the air.

Smelling the fragrance, many soldiers inhaled hard, looking like they were enjoying and intoxicated, and some soldiers thought to themselves, could it be that there is meat to eat at noon today?

It didn't take long for the soldiers of the cooking squad to come over, put the food on the flat ground, and the cooking squad leader also came this time, and saw that the soldiers were all around, and said loudly: "Comrades, everyone line up, don't worry, eat a big meal today, the food tube is full, and the meat tube is enough." ”

As soon as the cooking squad leader's words fell, the comrades of the cooking squad opened the lid and brought out a large basin of stewed meat, braised pork, pork-stuffed dumplings, and a large basin of 100 rice.

Seeing so much meat, so many dumplings and white rice, the soldiers were obviously excited, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that today's lunch at noon would be so sumptuous.

At this time, the commander of the second battalion of the new fifth regiment, who was in charge of the construction of the airport, also came over happily, and the commander of the second battalion had just learned that Commander-in-Chief Zhang had a treat at noon today, and all the soldiers had a meal.

The commander of the second battalion came over with a happy face and said loudly: "Comrades, today Commander-in-Chief Zhang of the 36th Group Army is here for our new Fifth Regiment. ”

Hearing this, many soldiers cheered, but they didn't expect Commander-in-Chief Zhang to come to the New Fifth Regiment and invite everyone to a big meal so generously, so the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army around began to shout one after another.

"Long live Commander-in-Chief Zhang!"

"Commander-in-Chief Zhang, thank you so much."

"Great, I can finally eat meat again."

“……”

The second battalion commander was very excited to see the enthusiasm of the soldiers, and the second battalion commander was also smiling with joy, and his heart was the same as the soldiers, very excited, but he didn't expect the famous commander-in-chief Zhang to come to Jinsha Town and his new fifth regiment.

The soldiers of the cooking class, seeing the soldiers cheering, everyone was also smiling, and began to serve food to the soldiers, and a soldier of the Eighth Route Army at the front of the line, holding a bowl of sharp food, happily ran to the side to enjoy it.

The soldier's rice bowl contained half a bowl of white rice and a few dumplings, and on top of the rice were large pieces of stewed meat and greasy braised pork.

This warrior, who didn't run far, couldn't wait to eat, his mouth was stuffed with a large piece of pork, his mouth was full of greasy, and he ate very pleasantly.

Those soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who had not yet eaten saw more and more soldiers not far away, eating there, and couldn't help but swallow their saliva with envy, wishing that it would be their turn immediately.

More than a dozen soldiers from the cooking class quickly cooked for everyone, and in less than ten minutes, all the soldiers were divided into a large bowl of food, and now, there was the sound of eating everywhere, and everyone was burying their heads in eating.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

"It's been a long time since I've eaten meat, it's so enjoyable!"

"No, I've eaten too much!"

“……”

This lunch, the soldiers of the New Fifth Regiment ate very refreshingly, even during the Chinese New Year, they did not eat so refreshingly, and many soldiers finally ate with round bellies and a satisfied face.

The regimental headquarters of the new fifth regiment.

Several commanders of the New Fifth Regiment who accompanied Zhang Yunfei and others to eat together tasted a lot, but Zhang Yunfei could still see that everyone's hearts were very happy, and they were full of gratitude and respect for themselves.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yunfei and others, accompanied by the head of the New Fifth Regiment, inspected the Jinsha Town Airport under construction, and Zhang Yunfei was very happy to see the airport that had begun to take shape.

Now, the land leveling is almost complete, because this is a plain, and the amount of work to level such a large piece of land is much less than in other places.

According to this progress, this airport, which covers an area of several hundred acres, will be able to barely take off and land by tomorrow if it is fast, and the day after tomorrow if it is slow, and if it is paved with cement, repaired auxiliary buildings, and pulled up barbed wire or built with a fence, a small and medium-sized airport will be basically completed.

The soldiers who finished eating lunch were full of energy, and when Zhang Yunfei and others came to the airport, the soldiers were working in full swing.

I don't know who first discovered his regiment commander, accompanied a group of dozens of people to the airport under construction, and the soldiers talked and speculated.

A soldier standing on the solid ground, while working, whispered to a soldier of the Eighth Route Army next to him: "Company commander, look, the regiment commander, political commissar, chief of staff, etc. are all here, and the regiment commander and they came together, and there are many people wearing beautiful military uniforms, who are those people?" ”

The company commander of the Eighth Route Army looked in the direction pointed by the soldier, and sure enough, not far away, his regiment commander, political commissar and others were accompanying everyone, and while talking, they walked over this way.

When the company commander saw that many people were wearing the new-style uniforms of the 36th Group Army, the company commander immediately wondered if those people were comrades of the 36th Group Army, and the mighty young officer who walked in front was Commander-in-Chief Zhang.

Not long ago, when everyone was eating, we heard the battalion commander say that Commander-in-Chief Zhang had come to Jinsha Town, and that today's lunch was still Commander-in-Chief Zhang's treat.

The company commander of the Eighth Route Army carefully looked at Zhang Yunfei and his party, who were getting closer and closer, and saw the three shining gold stars on Zhang Yunfei's shoulder, and immediately affirmed that this person was Zhang Yunfei.

So, the company commander of the Eighth Route Army said happily: "Comrades, those are the comrades of the 36th Group Army, and the person in front is Commander-in-Chief Zhang. ”

Hearing what the company commander said, many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army looked at Zhang Yunfei one after another, and everyone's eyes were obviously excited, and they didn't think that they could really see Commander-in-Chief Zhang today.

More and more soldiers of the Eighth Route Army saw Zhang Yunfei, and many commanders of the Eighth Route Army also recognized Zhang Yunfei, and more and more people looked at Zhang Yunfei and his party excitedly.

Suddenly, an excited soldier of the Eighth Route Army shouted: "Hello Commander-in-Chief Zhang! ”

Immediately, more and more of the Eighth Route Army began to shout, "Hello Commander-in-Chief Zhang!" Many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army also began to cheer, looking very happy and excited.

Zhang Yunfei saw that everyone recognized him, and he kept waving to the soldiers, and some soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, seeing Zhang Yunfei waving to him, were so excited that his eyes were slightly red, and tears almost flowed out.

Most of the soldiers, seeing Zhang Yunfei personally come to visit everyone, everyone's enthusiasm for work was even higher, and the entire airport showed a fiery scene.

Although it is winter and the weather is relatively cold, many soldiers are still sweating profusely, and the commander of the New Fifth Regiment is also very happy to see that his soldiers are performing well.

Zhang Yunfei took a look around the airport and found that the ground of the airport was very flat, and many places were also very solid by the soldiers.

Zhang Yunfei saw that the general outline of the airport was about to take shape, and by the way, he also said a little bit of his opinion, Zhang Yunfei smiled and said: "Sun Tuan, don't you have some cement, take it all out, and start building the first runway, so as to facilitate the take-off and landing of our fighters." ”

On the dry dirt floor of the airfield, the large transport planes of the flight group can barely take off and land, but the Mustang fighters are absolutely not easy to take off and land, and the small wheels of the Mustang fighters glide on these muddy grounds, and the planes will jolt violently, and the damage to the aircraft will be relatively large.

The large transport planes of the flight brigade have much lower ground requirements, and the big tires of the transport planes are basically capable of handling these dirt floors and can barely complete take-off and landing.

Sun Tuanzhang listened to Zhang Yunfei's suggestion and immediately said: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, I will immediately arrange for the soldiers to lay a cement runway, and a straight and flat runway will be laid out within a few days." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei nodded approvingly, and then continued: "Commander Sun, hurry up and level the ground on the plane, and the morning after tomorrow, our plane will transport the first batch of supplies." ”

Seeing Zhang Yunfei say this, not only Regiment Commander Sun, but even Comrade Xiao Zhengguang, deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, was slightly excited, so soon, there will be planes to transport supplies, and the comrades in the vast base areas in North China will be greatly alleviated The shortage of ammunition will be greatly alleviated, and the next battle of 100 regiments will be even more exciting.

Zhang Yunfei looked at the slightly excited expressions of the people of the Eighth Route Army, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

When he came back from the airport, it was already getting dark, and Zhang Yunfei stayed at the airport for two or three hours, personally guided it, and finalized the location of the first runway.

Although Zhang Yunfei is not an expert in the construction of airports, Zhang Yunfei has seen a lot of various airports and how to lay out the runway.

In the evening, after dinner, Zhang Yunfei suddenly said to Liu Xing: "Liu Xing, let's go to the county seat tomorrow, and you choose a few people to follow me." ”

Seeing that he was going to the county seat tomorrow, Liu Xing was very happy, immediately agreed, and immediately ran to get ready.

Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department next to him, was preparing to go to the county seat guarded by the little devils tomorrow, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Commander-in-chief, it is too dangerous for you to go to the county seat in person, if there is really something, I still want Captain Liu and them to go tomorrow." ”

Comrade Xiao Zhengguang, deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army next to him, was also taken aback when he saw that Zhang Yunfei was going to the county seat tomorrow, and hurriedly said: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, your safety must still be put first, and you must not put yourself in danger. ”

Commander Sun of the New Fifth Regiment of the Eighth Route Army also wanted to persuade Zhang Yunfei, but considering that his level was too low, he opened his mouth a few times, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

The situation in the county seat, Commander Sun is very clear, that is, Commander Sun himself does not dare to go around the county easily, for fear of being discovered by little devils and devils, but he did not expect that Commander-in-Chief Zhang actually wanted to go to the county seat, which is really surprising.
